Guest Smues Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Cards win, Pujols gets his ring, Larussa gets another ring, and an NL team wins the series in the year where they got raped in interleague play and everyone was saying the AL was going to sweep the series in July. Awesome. Oh and the series winner finally won at home. Awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 A couple thoughts here... 1. One of the most annoying things about postgame celebrations are official hats and t-shirts handed out on the field (or ice). It destoys the spontaneity. 2. Considering the flak Tony LaRussa's gotten for his postseason failures, this has to rank as his most impressive managerial job in his career. He deserves a ton of credit for this.

Guest NYankees Report post Posted October 28, 2006 83 Wins, 83 Wins in the regular season, JESUS CHRIST. This team had the 13th best record in baseball, almost missed the playoffs and they win the World Series. Fuck you Tigers.

Guest NYankees Report post Posted October 28, 2006 This probably puts LaRussa in the Hall of Fame. LaRussa is going to be in the Hall regardless of this year.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 I don't think this is a tremendous shock. The Cardinals had won 105 and 100 games the previous two seasons. They lost David Eckstein and Jim Edmonds for a good chunk of time during the season, and they had poor performances from players not on the postseason roster. Fundamentally, I think they were better than their 2006 record would indicate. Similarly, the Tigers hadn't finished above .500 in over a decade. They probably weren't as good as their record would indicate. The Tigers' offense wasn't even that good before the series. Great win for the Cardinals.

I'd say congrats to the Cards but I'm a Cubs fan so I must hate them. It's a rule, their fans shall understand. Lucky bastards, enjoy your celebration though. You earned every minute of it.

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 Finally, Aaron Miles has a WS ring. Truly, this is evidence of God. I bet this WS win means that Jeff Weaver, Jeff Suppan, and Jim Edmonds get contracts next year. At least two of those contracts will be a mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 I must be living in an alternate universe. Did I actually just see Jeff Weaver pitch a gem to clinch a World Series? People can trash the Cardinals and call them the worst ever WS winner, but really this team was fairly similar to the teams of the past 2 years that won 105 and 100 games. Before the season if someone had predicted the Cardinals would win the World Series I don't think anyone would have said it sounded crazy. The Cardinals were solid this year too until seemingly everyone went down with injuries and they went on major losing streaks. Anyway, I'm glad to see STL win it. Back in the day Louisville used to have the AAA affiliate for the Cardinals, so I have a soft spot to this day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
